Mega Tyranitar Weaknesses Explored for Optimal Counters

Conquering Mega Tyranitar in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

Mega Tyranitar, a formidable 5-Star Mega Raid boss in Pokémon GO, demands strategic counter selection. While boasting immense Attack, Defense, and HP, its weaknesses are exploitable with the right team.

Mega Tyranitar's Strengths and Weaknesses

Mega Tyranitar is a Rock/Dark-type Pokémon. This dual typing leaves it vulnerable to Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-type attacks. Fighting-type moves deal the most significant damage (256% effectiveness). Other effective types inflict 160% damage. However, it resists Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark-type moves.

Optimal Mega Tyranitar Counters

The most effective counters are high-Attack Fighting-types. Below are top choices with recommended movesets:

Water and Ground-types offer viable alternatives, though their damage output is lower. Prioritize Same-Type Attack Bonus (STAB) for maximum effectiveness.

Shiny Mega Tyranitar

Yes, a Shiny Mega Tyranitar can be obtained from 5-Star Mega Raids, but the odds are 1 in 128. Larvitar Community Days offer a higher chance of obtaining a Shiny Larvitar, which can then be evolved.

Remember to utilize Fighting-type counters for optimal results against Mega Tyranitar. Good luck, trainers!
